The Turing Way - Github Workshop - May 2025 Date: Monday, 6 May, 15-16:30 UTC+1 (in your timezone) The Turing Way is a community-led resource for reproducible, open, collaborative, and inclusive data science. Created by over 400 contributors, The Turing Way uses open source tools to enable people to collaboratively write chapters, build and maintain resources, as well as share their skills and ideas around best practices. Core to this is the version control tool, Github which supports The Turing Way’s collaborative practices. In this workshop, co-facilitators from The Turing Way Community will introduce participants to using GitHub as a tool to support collaborative documentation-writing and knowledge sharing. They will discuss the importance of open community practices in building and maintaining collective resources, and learn about the importance of different roles in open source documentation communities like The Turing Way: including that of maintainers, reviewers, and translators. Participants will gain hands-on experience in working collaboratively during the workshop by contributing to the The Turing Way project. A shared document will be used for collaborative note-taking, capturing feedback and learning. This workshop will be lead by Book Dash Planning Committee members Precious Onyewuchi, Arielle Bennett, Anne Lee Steele, and Léllé Demertzi. This training is being offered as a part of Book Dash: a week-long event of contributions and collaborations within The Turing Way community. All are welcome - you do not need to be a Book Dash participant to join! If there are any additional questions you have, or access-related support we can provide to make your participation easier, please email Anne Lee Steele, Research Community Manager at asteele@turing.ac.uk. Alternatively, you can also use the 'Questions & Comments' section of this form. Data collected through this form is subject to The Alan Turing Institute's privacy policy.

The Turing Way Community Shareouts - November 2024 Date: 22 May, 11:00 UTC+1 and 17:00 UTC+1 The Turing Way Community Share-outs and Contributor Celebration event is a culmination of a week of collaboration at our bi-annual Book Dash event! (To learn more about Book Dash, check out this chapter in our guides. To learn more about Community Share-outs, check out this chapter!) On 22 May 2025, The Turing Way team is hosting two Community Share-out and Contributor Celebration sessions at 11:00 and 17:00 London Time (UTC+1).

Everyone interested in The Turing Way project and our community is invited - please sign up to attend one, two, or all three of these sessions! This event is ideal for anyone interested in learning more about The Turing Way, whether you're a new contributor interested in understanding how you might get involved, or a long-term contributor interested in seeing what people have been up to across the project. Most of all, this is where we get to celebrate the incredible work of our contributors and collaborators across the project!

Alt: A hand drawn scriberia image in pink and greyscale populate the right side of the digital flier. There is a hand-drawn globe featuring markers and text bubbles in different geographies, connected by a pink dashed line as if communicating with each other. On the right side of the globe is a path where people are writing on computers and on paper, with the dashed line following them. The line continues to show a person reviewing text and writing, which converges into books. The flier holds information about Book Dash Applications.
